After appearing in four episodes of HBO’s “Veep” for season three, Sam Richardson was upped to series regular for the fourth season. The Second City alum plays Richard Splett, the bumbling optimist who entered the series as a temporary handler for Julia Louis-Dreyfus‘s Vice President Selina Meyers during a presidential campaign stop. In Season Four, the eager but incompetent Splett fails upward to the White House where he finds himself an assistant to Timothy Simon’s much-maligned Jonah. In an interview with TheWrap, Richardson talked about working with his heroes, his Second City background and the difference between sketch and written comedy.
